Catan
Get the robber to much in a row. NPCs get monopoly more than seems random. Love the game, hate the game mechanics
Fun because it is cheap
This game is really cool and there is levels that I like like ore for wool
Décevant par les bogues
Je suis très déçue. J’ai acheté le jeux pour les quatre membres de ma famille et une fois sur deux, il y a des bogues qui nous empêchent de jouer ensemble. C’est dommage car on adore ce jeu.
Stupidly Corrupt Dice Rolls
Unbelievably slanted dice rolls. There is an option on the main settings that show the number of times a particular number on the dice has been rolled. It always changes to put the player at a huge disadvantage. It is so infuriating! No casino is so dumb and corrupt as to manipulate the odds half this much. Do not waste your time or money. Be better than me, read reviews first.

paid but cannot login
I paid for the app and it will not let me log in or anything. It said that it is the wrong password after setting up an account and when it tries to send a password reset, it does not come to my e-mail.
Overly simplistic algorithm ruins game
Mediocre proxy for the real game. The main reason is the algorithm that governs the dice rolls and the bots is absolutely atrocious and just lazy (and for that I send a very sincere f-u to the game developers!). A few examples: Almost without fail, when the human player takes the lead by one even point, the bots gang up and start playing knight cards in sequence and moving the robber from one territory of the human player to the next (even though other bots are also within spitting distance of the lead), taking resource cards with each move. I’ve played many games where in 4 turns I’d lose all my resource cards because the bots keep playing robber cards one after another against the human. Also, as soon as a robber is placed on a human player’s territory, without fail, the next dice roll will be the number on which the robber is placed. Also, it’s incredible how many wild cards the bots have - I’ve played games where they have 6 at a time, and have even lost games where the bot has no less than 4 victory point cards (I.e., has 6 points and wins the game with 4 victory points cards - like, really!?!). Just lazy programming. So, yeah, not a great game.

AI cheats
The game itself is fun but in the independent play mode the AI will always roll multiples of whatever number you don’t have in a row, or multiple 7’s to keep you from winning.
Great game but having issues on iPhone
App kicks me out every 20mins or so. Requires me to sign in every single time.
Could be so much better, it’s just annoying
The algorithms for dice rolls are ridiculous. If you don’t have a particular number that number will constantly be rolled. If one of your tiles just got covered by the robber, that number will assuredly get rollled the very next turn. The AI players will not target you with the robber to start the game, but at some point they will hyper target you. I’ve lost 4-5 resource cards in a single turn countless times. The AI players also always have the monopoly cards. This app is not worth $4.99, the only redeeming point is no adds. It’s slightly better than never playing Catan, but be prepared for AI schenanigans. Developers, fix this! Make the dice truly random for pete sake! Until they do, avoid.

Love Catan but…
Catan is great and so is this app WHEN IT WORKS. I have been kicked out of multiple games in the middle of playing, the app also glitches often. It’s difficult to log in and sometimes crashes out after I get logged in. This is a great app when it works but it’s frustrating to pay for an app that glitches so often. It is the worst app I have purchased for that reason. Update your app and fix this so we can all enjoy more Catan. Können Sie mir bitte helfen?

Glitched
Very much like playing Catan - except when it glitches and skips my turn or doesn’t let me use a resource or game does not automatically play my victory point development card and I end up losing my game.
Endless cheating. Statistically proven.
Catan’s AI is not difficult. It is poorly designed.
The statistical anomalies become especially pronounced when the human player takes the lead: repeated 7s, disproportionate Knight attacks, persistent robber targeting, and extended suppression of the player’s highest-probability numbers.
We use the game in our programming statistics class at my college specifically to map these patterns and demonstrate the difference between legitimate randomness and apparent algorithmic intervention.
Good AI wins through superior strategy. This engine appears to manufacture difficulty by manipulating outcomes and coordinating AI behavior against the human player.
That isn’t intelligent competition. It’s cheating disguised as difficulty.

Update
Please update this game. There are quite a few bugs.
Terrible AI
This game is well designed but the AI is a JOKE!! Clearly the laws of probability don’t apply, don’t do well early in the game or the AI will target you.
Targeting AI Sucks
Game is great until the ai just plays robber over and over switching back and forth between your spaces and taking all your cards. Ruins the ability to win. Not worth $5.
Keeps
I love this game but it KEEPS CRASHING ON ME. I can’t finish a game without the app closing itself
I Love this game
Yes the computer cheets.. but it’s reminiscent of playing against my actual siblings - minus the board flipping. Love that I can log in and play a quick game and then come back to it later. I don’t have time to play IRL most of the time, so this allows me to play, without the wait. :) Thank you
Scam - not the real app - don’t buy
This one is no longer in development but they will sell you it for $5. Catan Universe is the real one
Trading
The trade system takes a long time and is annoying but also don’t know how they could make it better given the system
Ugg
The game glitches all the time !
